My new portfolio site is live, not full; but live. A big thanks to liveBooks for offering a great service at a reasonable price, thus allowing me to update my long outdated portfolio site. You know the old saying: "The Cobbler's children have no shoes," well my twist went like this: "The Web Content Managers site's content is never managed;" but not anymore.

I am still in the process of filling my individual portfolios; but I needed to get this site up and running. As soon as my new Drobo is filled with data from all of my other drives it will be a quick and easy process to export images for my individual portfolios. The time prediction for that is about 30 hours, it takes a long time to move 3-4 TBs of data from lots of smaller drives to one big one :)

Dave is the Director of Communications for Volunteers of America - Northern Rockies. Raised in the western suburbs of Chicago, IL, he moved to the west when he was 20-years-old, and he “is never looking back.” Dave has two passions, one for the outdoors and one for photography. To this end, he spends much of his time in the ecosystems in and around Yellowstone National Park. This gives him a perspective on the wildlife and the ecosystem that few have. Dave is also an adjunct faculty member at Rocky Mountain College in Billings, MT, where he teaches middle- and upper-division photography courses. Working as photographer, Dave’s assignments include everything from commercial work and journalism, to wildlife and landscape photography. His extensive time in the field shows through in online galleries which are loaded with images of the fragile places he travels to. His work can be viewed at www.DaveShumway.com.
